Ocean Wise program – Canada

One of our supporters currently in Vancouver has sent in these comments and a link to the Canadian Ocean Wise program, which relates to Canadian food supplies.

Worth a read! If you check out ‘salmon’ and go to the drop down information panels on different approaches it’s certainly of interest. Perhaps we need to get Tasmanian/Australian open-pen farmed salmon onto their list of No Go’s…

Farmed salmon is a very contentious issue in the Pacific North West with some areas (Alaska) banning it while others have limited operations. Of course they have the wild salmon disease issues, but environmental degradation is also a major concern.
